2022 2nd Alert LTI11carpenter lost balance and fell into the foundation pit, his body hit a shuttering rebar resulted in injury
On April 9th, 2022, at 10:35 Hrs, a Carpenter (AIP Sub-contractor – Al Fouj) deployed to spread polyethylene sheet on ground (to offload the pre-cast foundation) closer to a foundation pit, stepped backward toward the pit while placing the sheet and fell into the pit (1.5m deep) over a rebar (steel rod with mushroom rebar cap), resulting in injury on his left buttock near the coccyx area.
Always keep safe distance from edge of excavations Always be cautious of your surroundings and the hazards involved Always be mindful and observant of the warning signs and barricades in the area Always ensure barricades are close to the excavation (1m) without any extra space for other activities. Always cut the rebar used as form work support to require length avoiding excess projection.
The supervisor made the decision to unload the precast foundation inside the barricaded area. Inadequate attention to the hazards posed by the surroundings while working close to open pit. PTW Holder / crew members did not intervene/observe the carpenter's risky movement.
